The Relation of Some Physical and Chemical Factors of the Soil to the Productivity and Distribution of Certain Waterfowl Food Plants at the Bear River Migratory Waterfowl Refuge

Within the last raw years several areas thin the state of Utah have been and are being developed for the conservation of migratory birds. Of utmost importance in this respect is the management of these areas so as to obtain a sufficient supply of rood plants for use by water fowl. Previous work done...

Previous work done at the Bear River Migratory Waterfowl Refuge shows that the productivity or aquatic rood plants, chiefly Potamogeton pectinates L. and Ruppis marittima L. varies with different localities and that these differences could not be attributed to chemical conditions of the water, i.e., dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, and hydrogen ion.
